The treasure of the sea
Spirulina, also known as blue-green algae, is a simple, one celled,
spiral-shaped organism that grows in warmer alkaline waters. It is unique
from other algae in that it has characteristics of both a plant, and
an animal. It lacks the cellulose membrane of most plant cells, yet
it does not have the well-defined nucleus, or organelles that would
classify it as a bacteria. Moreover, it relies on photosynthesis for
energy production, which is characteristic only of the plant kingdom.
Spirulina has generated much interest in health food circles because
of its incredible concentration of highly bioavailable, quality nutrients.
This may be attributable to the fact that spirulina has a photosynthetic
conversion rate roughly three times that of soil-based plants.
Spirulina is a complete protein source, containing all essential amino
acids. It is also one of the few excellent plant sources of vitamin
B12, which is typically found only in animal tissues. As such it is
a suitable supplement for vegans who may have trouble getting enough
B12 in their diet. Spirulina is also rich in vitamin A, B1 (thiamin),
B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine),
vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, folic acid, biotin and inositol.
Aside from this excellent array of vitamins, spirulina contains concentrations
of many important minerals including iodine, bromine, iron, manganese,
and potassium. What makes spirulina such an excellent source of these
vital trace elements is the fact that many of them are naturally contained
in organic chelate bonds, increasing their bioavailability. This natural
chelation may be due to spirulina’s high amino acid content.
Spirulina also contains many beneficial enzymes, and is rich in several
of the most effective antioxidants known, such as superoxide dimutase,
chlorophyll and phytocyanin. With such a comprehensive spectrum of concentrated
nutrients in highly bioavailable form, it’s no wonder that many refer
to spirulina as Nature’s “super food”.
